If a flag is in use.desc (global), then I should be able to put it in my |
| 11 |
USE= in my /etc/make.conf. That also means that the flag should only be |
| 12 |
used to do exactly as it says in use.desc, and nothing else. |

The package in question here should really use a different USE-flag, |
| 15 |
because it is overloading the original (intended?) meaning of the mp3 |
| 16 |
USE-flag, leading to possibly unexpected results for the end-user. |

There is nothing unclear on the descriptions here, the same flag is just |
| 19 |
used for two different things, which is wrong if the flag is global. |
